Austrian diver Nikola "Niki" Stajković has died aged 57 while swimming. A heart failure is suspected. He competed at five Olympics. His best position was eighth, at the 1980 Olympics. He became one of the youngest Olympic competitors ever when he made his Olympic debut in 1972 at age thirteen.

Early post of the year contender right there! I would like my epitaph to read: "Life is a form of mental illness. Now I'm alright"

"You start to die the moment you are born. The whole of life is cutting through the pack with death" – James Bond

Life is a form of mental illness. It's always sexually based.

A single wafer-thin mint?

I want to die while listening to helterskelter and watching vampire killers.

Widower unless I'm missing something. Or he was missing something! Or he was both. A hermaphrodite.

  ??? According to science, everything that happens obeys the laws of nature. In fact, the medieval Cartesian view that there is a ghost with causal powers in the brain-machine is currently regarded as ridiculous by scientists. No death is a tragedy since everything that happens obeys the laws of nature. Cartesius uses the ghost theory to found his scientifical method. It was only supposed per absurdum to demonstrate man can be sure of something he is doing, thinking, even if the ghost keeps us in a fictional reality. I'm sure he did not really believe there was a ghost in our brain (well, in some brains there may be a ghost...) and he did not know about TPT.  Yes but had Cartius a choice? Did he have causal powers? Nature has causal powers. The common-sense theory of free will says that last week, while you still had a choice whether tobuy a ticket or not, the future was still objectively open, and you really could have chosen any of two or more options. But that is incompatible with spacetime. So according to spacetime physics, the openness of the future is an illusion, and therefore causation and free will can be no more than illusions as well. We need, and cling to, the belief that the future can be affected by present events, and especially by our choices; but perhaps that is just our way of coping with the fact that we do not know the future. In reality, we make no choices. Even as we think we are considering a choice, its outcome is already there, on the appropriate slice of spacetime, unchangeable like everything else in spacetime, and impervious to our deliberations. Don't agree Blady but I love it! I quoted physicist David Deutsch without acknowledgment of the source. It is indeed true that according to Einstein's relativity, the future is already fixed and has been so since the Big Bang. Thus the next dead of 2017 are already there, on the 2017 slice of spacetime, unchangeable like everything else.

Of those with that diagnosis only 14% are alive after 5 years.

Kamala is 66, with both legs amputated below the knee due to complications of high blood pressure and diabetes, a condition he has had since 1992, but not accepting dialysis treatment.

I know Harley Race, the handsome King, is he in a nursing home? God save the King.

I hope it didn't Hurt.

Again, nothing to do with DP directly, but this man's accomplishments need to be noted. Man had sex with a hog in Finland – interrupted by animal caretakers! The man was willingly the receiving partner! From police report: A man surrendered himself to a romantic intercourse with a 250 kg male pig. The man was down as the receiving partner. Animal caretakers found the couple in action, and told the naked man to stop it. The man, with his pants still down, tried to escape the vulgar scene, but was slowed down because by tripping in the pig shit. Finally he was able to escape with his car. The man managed to make a go for a hefty 40 km’s, before he ditched his car, being drunk. This is how the police found him. His suspected crimes do not include animal sex, because that is legal in Finland. http://mvlehti.net/2017/01/21/man-had-sex-with-a-hog-in-finland-interrupted-by-animal-caretakers/

Finnish TV producer Timo T.A. Mikkonen has died aged 69 after 5 years of very bad health. He hosted a 17-hour talk show broadcast in 1998 and made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0586598/

All this is part of the long-awaited for and to some, the long hoped for, Baby Boomer die-off! Mixed feelings mind, I want the three surviving Black Sabs who still tour under that name to live at least nine more days so I can see them "All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire." –Grace Slick

"the 1977 Innsbruck Winter Olympics" No such event in history.

Daily Fail: 'I'd want to die if I got Alzheimer's': Britt Ekland fears developing the disease like her late mother because it was 'too horrible for words'Her late mother Mae-Britt was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 67 Britt is 74. Mauno Koivisto, former President of Finland is 93, has Alzheimer's and has recently become weaker.

George was the Father, the spiritual one, the Priest. John was the Son of Love who sang about love, the Son of Light, the Beatle in a white suit in the cover of Abbey Road, the Son who was cruelly sacrificed by Judas Chapman. Paul was the Holy Spirit, the pretty Beatle who plays his hollow Hofner bass and walks barefoot in the cover of Abbey Road. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thus Ringo is the Pale Rider who brings death. The Joker. He's the Beatle in a black funeral suit in the cover of Abbey Road.

I have long played with the idea that the Beatles are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. If that is true, Ringo is the last one, the Pale Rider who brings death. The Joker.

I'm not penned up in a steel chamber linked to radioactive substance with a box of cyanuric acid whick breaks if there is a radioactive decay. Don't know if you live that way in Finland. Just testing the Quote button... According to quantum physics, we are all penned up in a steel chamber linked to radioactive substance with a box of cyanuric acid whick breaks if there is a radioactive decay. So you are penned up in a steel chamber linked to radioactive substance with a box of cyanuric acid whick breaks if there is a radioactive decay. Or quantum mechanics is wrong. I believe in quantum mechanics. Thus you are penned up in a steel chamber etc. You are both dead and alive, and there is no death because there is no life. Quantum mechanics is pure nonsense for macroscopic systems. I know quite exactly (error about 10^-34) where I am and how fast I am going. I don't need orbital functions. Bladan knows better. He has a MSc. QM is the correct description of nature. Not Einstein's general theory of relativity. Human bodies are macroscopic systems. Thus we are both dead and alive.

"I'm not penned up in a steel chamber linked to radioactive substance with a box of cyanuric acid whick breaks if there is a radioactive decay." But you could be, which means that you are penned up there, according to quantum mechanics, which has been always right since 1920s. Thus you are already dead. So am I.
